clovis farmers market (being photo-bombed)

one of
my favorite breakfasts is avocado toast. i'm not the biggest fan of
bread, i can talk about why i don't like most bread & why, for a
while, but i'll spare you and tell you about my favorite bread!
it's Julian Bakery bread!
they
sell it at some stores, but you can also order & have it shipped to
you (which is what i do!) they have vegan bread, and each slice is full
of protein and other important nutrients. love it.
i've almost tried all their vegan breads and haven't found one i don't like!

i tweaked both recipes ever so slightly, so now i can say this is my recipe adapted from yaddayadaa.

for the pickles, i cut their recipe in half & added a few little things that i think made it special.

Pickles

4 cups water

2 cups apple cider vinegar

5 tbsp salt

2 tbsp agave

8-10 cucumbers

1/2 red onion

garlic to taste (i used 5 cloves)

lots of dill

while you slice all the cucumbers, red onion & garlic, bring the water, vinegar, salt & agave to a boil.
layer the cucumbers, red onion, garlic & dill into jars. (depending on the size, could be 3-4 jars)
use
as much or as little of dill & garlic. i used a lot of both &
they turned out great. pour the hot water/vinegar into the jars to cover
all the cucumbers. put a lid on the jar, let it sit until it has cooled
(about an hour) and put into the fridge. they're ready over night. easy
peasy.

for the sesame bread,
i followed their recipe exactly, except i used whole wheat flour. it
turned out great too.... but i also piled on a ton of avocado, so who's
to say it turned out great?

hope you're having a good weekend.

i bought a camera at a yard sale today, for $5. the battery for it cost $12... ha ha. k bye guys.

Not to be all creepy, but i always wondered where in the corner of the internet you went! I was a friend of Coury's on Myspace and a tried and true patron of her ebay store throughout the years and always thought you were just cute as a button back in those Castledoor days - esp when you wore matching outfits! So glad I finally discovered your blog! Thanks for sharing with us your lovely life :)
